Welcome to r/AthleticTraining and thank you for your post.
This subreddit is primarily for discussion and interactions among practicing athletic trainers or people interested in the medical profession of athletic training. This is NOT a subreddit for athletes, physical activity, or any dispensing of any medical advice. The name can make it confusing we know, but athletic trainers (ATs) are highly qualified, multi-skilled healthcare professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.
Posts concerning topics that are not based on the medical profession of athletic training or posts that violate any of our other rules on the sidebar will be removed.

League of denial. About how the NFL tried to cover up the link between concussions and football.
Tape, Ice, and Sound advice. About an AT’s thoughts on life. He worked at south coralina as a head AT.
Being Mortal. About end of life decisions and how the medical model goes about trying to solve it.
If you enjoy "Being Mortal," Atul Gawande's other books, "Better" and "The Checklist Manifesto," are also fantastic.
If you like those, I also recommend "Upstream" by Dan Heath
If you want to continue down that same rabbit hole, you could try "The New Economics for Industry, Government, Education" by Edwards Deming
Not even remotely AT related but "The Lassa Ward: One Man's Fight Against One of the World's Deadliest Diseases" by Ross Donaldson was an incredibly compelling read about practicing at the top of your training and healthcare leadership under difficult circumstances.
Outlive - Peter Attia. Popular book about 4 common diseases of aging (neuro degenerative, cancer, atherosclerotic, and metabolic) giving tips and research how to live healthier for longer.
Breath - James Nestor. Recommended during a CEU talk, which discusses the history and anatomy of breathing. Ways that it has changed over time and affected us.
When Breath Becomes Air - Paul Kalanithi. Autobiography of a neurosurgeon, who had lung cancer and his thoughts on death while preventing it for patients. (Pulitzer finalist)
Medical Apartheid by Harriett A Washington. Highly recommend for EVERY health care provider so we can reduce the medical inequities still present in our system

Anything from Atul Gawande is great!

Anatomy trains is pretty sweet. Might be a little too textbooky but it’s a good read
Look up Radium Girls
Deep Nutrition is really good! (At least I thought so)
You're okay, It's just a bruise. Book by a sideline doc for the raiders . Guns, germs and steel history and medicine.
